Benji 2025 and Beyond

Cattle? Broncos have a cavalry. How do you explain them? The only cattle we have wear suites and lick their lips for power.

That only gets you so far. As a tactician he’s terrible and his team selections are horrendous. Can you name one player who has improved under him?

It doesn't realise anything...

Don't feed the troll on its own shithouse thread!

This stupid prick can't even see how Richardson is superior to Pascoe FFS!!

28-6 when 13 on 13 last night - and these dumb muppets reckon the coaching is the problem....

FMD!!

And it doesn't help when the best cattle leave - our juniors - good price - junior price - and we have to buy other teams " best" players at premium price. How is this good business. You guys are right. It's not Benji.

Richo has said it too. The club can’t expect HBG to keep tipping in truckloads of cash, the club needs to become financially viable in its own right.

The problem is HBG aren’t tipping in truckloads of cash… all they care about is whether NSW Cup is named the Magpies & how much orange is on the jersey. I mean they’ve wasted a couple of million on upgrades to Lidcombe Oval, who gives a shit about Lidcombe Oval? let the local council worry about it.

Im not deathriding Benji but the likely replacement for him if he were to go might be Willie Peters who is currently coaching Hull KR in 1st place in the ESL .
Peters has a strong relationship with Richo

Sam Burgess if he doesn't get the Perth gig as senior or assistant coach, that's who I think Richo would call. Though I'd love to get Ivan Cleary back, or Andrew Webster.

You're absolutely correct, but that's only half true. Having a strike centre etc doesn't stop Luai being sent off. That first half against the Cowboys was bad.

Benji is brilliant, we are getting better, but Benji is shanking some key match day decision making moments as a coach. That's probably the area where he needs to grow most. I think tactically and culturally within the walls of concord is a fab place to be. I still think he's a bit blind to the importance of some moments in a season and misreads what kind of performance is needed from his team. Or how to set them up.

The spoon bowl was the first really noticeable one for me, he sent the team out to have fun and express themselves in a massive grudge match. Misread. We got flogged and an extra wooden spoon at home. That was really disrespectful to all the punters who turned up to Campbelltown and even Richo had to spray players for joking while getting flogged and earning another spoon.

He sent the next team out at the same ground to play super conservative against an absolutely abysmal Knights side. Two points lost. Misread.

This week, we couldn't put together 10 minutes of coherent footy after the kickoff, following a bye. If anything this was the game to start super conservative and ease into. First game without Galvin, after a rest, a chance to restart/reset our season. Luai would be skinned alive for what he did in that game by an experienced coach. He's the main man. Instead we are sliding back to last season and we are back to being F&CJ)Up central and being proud of nearly fixing up mess that we made ourselves.

He can't get the team to perform at Campbelltown with even close to the same passion that they play with at Leichardt. He can handle the media spotlight really well in most cases, but I don't think he's figured out all the little mind games and tricks guys like Ricky Stuart and Wayne Bennett play to detract from a sides poor performance.

I’m just grateful they implemented the recommendations of the review and got Richo involved. (Glass half full) Half way through the season we’re only 2 points from 8th, equal with the Roosters & Broncos & ahead of Penrith & Parra. Our spine is looking sharp. It’s time we get behind the club as there are more green shoots than most people realise. A bit of luck and a few astute signings and we’ll be right.

Exactly. If i had their money (I)id be sprinking sum - in lieu of the economic climate we find ourselves in currently and systematically - on upgrades on my properties and travel. Maybe some gold and bitcoin. Cause it seems they won the orange colour referendum. It's obvious. Our away and home jersey is orange. It's black and white to see. I don't think any ya all can disagree.
 
Iv got to be honest, I'm as frustrated with the team and Benji as every one, but when i take a breath a calm down and look at the season so far objectively. We got hammered by Melbourne, we got well beaten by Brisbane. Apart from that, we lost last night by 4 points, every other game we've lost we lost by 2 points, we're scrappy we're out of form but we're really competative. So far imo Benji gets a massive pass from me. Considering we have absolutely no depth. I think Benjis done a decent job.
